> I have greybeard coworkers that dissed the technology as a fad 3 years ago. Now they are scrambling to catch up. They have to do this while sustaining a family with pets and kids and mortgages and full time senior jobs.

I want to criticize Art’s comment on the grounds of ageism or something along the lines of “any amount life outside of programming is wasted”, but regardless of Art’s intention there is important wisdom here. Use your free time wisely when you don’t have much responsibilities. It is a superpower.

As for whether to spend it on AI, eh, that’s up to you to decide.

It's totally valid criticism. What I meant is that if an individual's major concern is employment, then it would be prudent to invest the amount of time necessary to ensure a favorable outcome. And given whatever stage in life they are at, use the circumstance you have in your favor.

I'm a greybeard myself.
